Has anyone here see this before? I haven't and thought maybe it would be of interest.

Refused to license his song "Father And Son" for use in Moulin Rouge! (2001). It was the first musical number in the original script. Because of his current religious beliefs, he objected to the sexual content in the film. The scene featuring "Father and Son" was to have been between Christian and his father in his father's office, with all his father's employees joining in for the chorus. This was to be the segue into his leaving home for Paris. The scene is included in the complete script on the Special Edition DVD.
I't a shame it would have been great to have opened the film with such a great song, still Yusuf had his reasons bless him.
